简要总结
Knee osteoarthritis is a common condition characterized by pain and functional disability in older people. Prevalence increases with age and is more frequent in older women. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of an 8-weeks individualized comprehensive rehabilitation program with elastic bands on pain and functional disability in chronic knee osteoarthritis.
详细描述
The main symptoms of knee osteoarthritis are pain and functional disability. These symptoms are caused by a progressive loss and deterioration of articular cartilage with reactive new bone formation at the joint's surface and margins involving articular cartilage, soft tissues, and bone damage. Many treatment programs have been developed, including medication with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, physical modalities, and therapeutic exercises. It is hypothesized that an individualized comprehensive rehabilitation program uring 8 weeks would benefit women with knee osteoarthritis.

结局指标
主要结局
Changes in Functionality
时间窗: Baseline, 8 weeks, 3 months
Changes in Functionality is going to be assessed by the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC). Scores range from 0 to 96, with higher scores indicating greater disease severity.
Changes in Perceived Health Status
时间窗: Baseline, 8 weeks, 3 months
Changes in Perceived Health Status is going to be assessed by the EuroQol-5D.It contains two sections, a descriptive section and a valuation section. The descriptive section is a health status classification instrument with the following five dimensions: mobility; self-care; usual activities; pain/discomfort; and anxiety/depression. In the second section, respondents are asked to value their overall health status on a visual analogue scale ranging from 0 (defined as the worst imaginable health state) to 100 (defined as the best imaginable health state)
Changes in Physical Performance
时间窗: Baseline, 8 weeks, 3 months
Changes in Physical Performance is going to be assessed using the Stairs Climbing Test. This test assesses the ability to ascend and descend a flight of stairs, as well as lower extremity strength, power, and balance.
